Woman tried to sell newborn son for Dh10,000, Sharjah court told



SHARJAH // An Indonesian mother has been charged with human trafficking along with two female compatriots after she tried to sell her baby to an undercover police officer for Dh10,000.

Officers were tipped off that the mother was trying to sell her newborn son and arranged to meet her at Al Majaz where she was arrested.

The three women did not enter a plea to human trafficking charges when they appeared in Sharjah Criminal Court as there was no translator available.

The next hearing is set for January 9.
